One of the fastest ways to dramatically improve the appearance
of your smile is by using Porcelain crowns and dental porcelain veneers.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain Crowns are made from a
variety of materials that strengthen and protect the tooth structure.

There are three types of porcelain
crowns: a full-porcelain crown (Empress), a porcelain fused-to-metal crown (PFM)
and the all-metal crown. Your dentist will discuss and help you decide which
type of crown is suitable for you.

Typically porcelain crowns are made
by bonding the porcelain to a metal support in a process called Porcelain Fused
to Metal (PFM). The drawback is that unlike a natural tooth that allows light to
pass through it, the metal support underneath blocks out the light.

The Empress system, unlike its predecessors, has developed a
method of making a porcelain crown without metal that is both durable and
strong. Since the crown is made entirely out of porcelain, light is able to pass
through just like a real tooth giving a more natural look.

If a crown (Empress or PFM ) is made for a cosmetic reason , that may not be
covered by your dental insurance. If a crown (Empress or PFM ) is made for any
of the following reasons, (this will be covered by your insurance): severe
damage from decay, a filled tooth can no longer support the filling, after a
root canal the tooth becomes brittle and requires the protection of a crown.
Bridges - when teeth are replaced by a bridge, the adjacent teeth
need crowns in order to support the bridge
